Gender
Theology and Praxis
Keywords:
Gender, Theology, PraxisAbstract
The question of gender and gender justice cannot be limited to two genders, namely, male and female. Thanks to developments in various branches of science, today we understand more clearly that there exist more than two genders and that the question of gender justice pertains to all genders, though the issue of two genders is more common and conspicuous. Although this issue of Asian Horizons on “Gender: Theology and Praxis” focuses on the two genders of male and female, we do not limit our deliberations to these two genders.
